-Pendleton COre.) Tribune, 3lst: Mr..
b. F. Shauout, of Helena, Montana, was
in the city this week, and left to inter
view the horsemen on Butter and Birch
Creeks, with intent TO purchase. He may
possibly take notion to locate in Pen
dleton, being favorably impressed with
the surroundings and prospects of the
city. 1t is no difficult matter to see that
this is the coming town of Eastern Ore
gon. 1t has more push than any of its
neighbOrs.
